Hide and Seek

Basenji Talk
  • So Manning has decided that hide and seek is his new favorite game. He steals obects that we use on a daily basis and hides them for days or weeks at a time. It all started with the dogs' collars…We take the collars off the dogs to give them a bath and usually leave them off until they go outside. Well twice now Manning has either stolen his collar or Rascals. I can't find them, I turn the apartment upside down and nothing. Time goes by, I think the collar is lost forever until one day Manning comes sneaking into the den carrying the collar in his mouth! More recently he went fishing through my purse and stole my wallet...I had no idea until I was in the Starbucks drive-thru:mad: ! How to explain to the Starbucks window guy that I swear I had my wallet but my dog stole it? So four days later people ask why I haven't canceled all my cards, am I not afraid someone stole it? They just don't get it when I say that someone did steal it...he just walks on all fours, has a wrinkled face, and pointy ears! Finally, on the fifth day I find my wallet. Placed in the middle of the hallway floor right where Manning left it for me. Here I roll my eyes...stuff like that only happens living with a basenji!

  • He, he…..just make sure he isn't secretly shopping on ebay ;)

  • When I start receiving luxury pet items in the mail I'll know who the shopping culprit is! :D

  • Hey, I had a similiar problem with my Sahara, I had an appt. with my doctor about an hour away. Well, we are military retired and I have to have my ID to get into the base to see my doctor. I got there to discover that I didn't have my ID, it was in my cup holder on my car console. Well, Sahara was in my car right before I left the house trying to go with me, I had a real struggle with her to get her out of the car. So I had to call my doctor's nurse to let them know that I was almost there but didn't have my ID to get on base, that my dog had gotten it. I could not get on base, no matter what, I didn't have ID, so I couldn't get through the security gate. So what could I do but cancel the appt. and reschedule for the next week, but I did take advantage of the whole trip b/c there is great shopping there. I just went out to eat and shopped. What happened to my ID, well, I found it between the seat, she had left it there, probably when I grabbed her it fell out of her mouth. She loves to run with our stuff, it is all about the chase. haha!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like I always say, "You gotta love these dogs", or you would go crazy. haha!!!!

  • That is hysterical :D :D :D I am ROFL…this little guy is too funny!! Don't be surprised if a Limo rolls up in front of your house asking for a Mr. Manning asked us to pick him up from this address....LOL LOL :D :D :D

    LOL I often bring warm laundry up from the basement & fold it on the bed. When I dump the pile of warm clothes on the bed I am guaranteed to have 2 Basenjis in the middle of the pile. Also, we just moved into a new house with heat registers on the floor. This is Jibini's FIRST encounter with such a thing; every other house we've been in had them on the ceiling. I was waiting to see how long it would take him to catch on….for about a week he persisted in his usual warmth-seeking behavior (cuddling with me on the couch). But on a particularly cold night he was walking by the living room heat register and he stopped in his tracks, did an about face and stood looking at the register in disbelief. Initially he kept standing & rotating so as to "warm" his whole body....then he curled up for a nap in front of the register. Silly dogs!!

    EL D often will try and cover his poop when we go on walks but not in our own yard (though usually he'd rather poop on a walk than in the yard :)). Once he hides his droppings then he tries to run away as fast as he can - of course I still have to clean up after him so he always gives me this nasty look, like "leave it - hurry let's go before the cops come". :D
